Ender and his platoon, facing unfair challenges.
Lined up against formidable odds, outnumbered,
Reacting and performing in unison to achieve their victory
Becoming teammates, leaders, friends.
Winning and losing together, working towards their common goals.
They started running as fast as they legs were able to. Jumping over buildings, fences they ran until they lost sight of the police. Isaac caught breath, and looked to his left to see Moe, who leaned against the concrete wall, breathe heavily and Rea grinning at both of them.

i know how it sours you
to have to rely on others

to teach you this lesson)
We move as one, our motions in sync from the hours we spent training together back at boot camp in New Hampshire. We hold our guns comfortably in our hands, their weight is no longer unfamiliar. We have pulled the trigger before, and we are prepared to do it again to protect each other.
Katelyn
She joined the squad in eighth grade, leaving me behind, telling me to go “make new friends” while she threw her hands up in the air and learned cheesy cheers that I never yelled back during the pep rallies.
Trying to keep up with my God.
Pursuing a life void of fraud.
Lana says she likes you a lot
But my ears and heart are currently blocked.
Outside, I’ve got a few voices distracting
My insides are convulsing, detracting
My soul is starving and the true catch is
I’m feeding it secular cactus.
The heart knows better but these voices drown.
They bark and demand, trying to take me out.
Some call them a grotesque disease, like leprosy or gout.
Others call them the enemy, because destruction is what they’re about.
I’m just having trouble because I’m older
Only God can save me from the soldiers on my shoulder
The pints were lined up like a squad, ready for whatever the night would bring. Behind them, she set up another row, bringing the total number of pints to twelve.
“How many people are you expecting tonight?” he asked.
She chuckled, and nodded to the man in black at the far side of the pub. “These are just for him,” she replied.
The squad jumped over the platoon, enemies were everywhere. Fear pounded through their hearts like the fear of death, it was so thick in the air they could taste it. Or so they thought, after smelling a stench as that for as long as they had it eventually became taste and smell in one sensory perception.

A squad or team builds friendship and teamwork. Working well within in squad will provide us with skills that can be used in relationships throughout our life. Doing your part, yet learning to rely on others to accomplish a task instills responsibility and trust into a person. Being accountable to others helps us to mature from self-centered children into caring adults.
A death squad was reigning all over town. People both loathed and feared them, there was no way out for them. Until, one day a mercenary from far away came and freed the enslaved people.

Squad might make you think of many things really. A football squad will usually come to most people’s minds at first. But then you may think of the similar work; squid. And then your mind might start to wonder what other words sound like squad. Quid popped into mine immediately. Maybe that’s just because it’s harder to think of words with Q’s in them.
Tahlia
let’s get ’em all back together. i haven’t seen slim since the 90’s – early at that. do you have email address, any addresses? we could pick a time in early november, before the holidays hit and get a private room over at the steak joint, have a few drinks and reminisce.
Our small group preceded to move down the line, carefully inspecting each individual with a desperate face as if their life depended on how many minuscule pieces of lint populated their uniform’s clean lines of black fabric. They’d worked for years for this moment, the test of their future, which branch they’d go into based only on how they looked right now, but though each one dreamed of the Holy Grail, the King’s Guard, I couldn’t bring myself to appoint anyone else to my own elite standards, even though I knew that a few of them even outranked and looked sharper than myself.
There were eleven of them. All tall, mostly blond, fully-protected. Marching across the green at great clip. The sun was shining, but in the distance a storm was looming even though it was the lord’s day. He had great plans for us.
the monster squad constantly researched and scoured the world for monsters. sometimes they captured them for further studies, sometimes they merely killed them in a struggle for dominance. No one really understands what it is the monster squad does, except those on the fringe, and no one can know. It wouldn´t bring a positive outlook from the universe.
Seamus
Me and the girls were armed. Handbags, check. Sunglasses, check. Swag, check. The six of us walked arm-in-arm and braved the crowd. Old city! Here we come!
And then we cleverly hid our fear of being trampled and walked into the market.

Mirela V
The squad of detectives arrived on the murder scene two minutes late, and the gunmen were able to evade capture that day.
The lights were blaring. The noises, deafening.
He had seconds left to live and he knew it, but he continued to kiss me into the night.
We stayed together, hand in hand until the lights were blinding.
He died in my arms.
The squad opened fire. He only had two seconds. He thought of his entire life; it all went racing around his mind. BAM one bullet. His family was lost to him, BAM second bullet. There goes his friends. BAM another one. Any memory he had was gone.

Running through the bushes, Sarge turns to me, and his eyes are always just a little sad. Like he’s thinking of some honey in Alabama, all blue eyes and big blonde curls, and a special smile that’s just for him.
“Point and shoot, boys,” he says, even though he knows what follows will be an extermination of the worst kind. “No fuss, no muss.”
When we wade through civilian blood, I look at him again, and he’s thinking of the way she holds his hand and kisses his face, and how he fears he won’t ever feel it again.
Bronwyn
I didn’t want to join the squad. Dad insisted though. ‘Make a man of you, lad’. And so I joined a gaggle of other rugby hopefuls on a cold, wet, windy field of mud.
Angus Rose
The squad looked me in the eyes as I came crashing down on them. There was a burning hate in there. I gleefully snapped their necks as the turned to run, screaming with laughter. I was a god, and there were mere pawns in my scheme.
Sean Curry
You have it, a squad of plastic
May you think they are bombastic
But no, you are not, they are not
No more than Montserrat
Your squad live like a buccaneer
No doubt they will explode our tier
The squad’s hobnail boots resounded on the cobblestones. Quickly, she grabbed his arm and wrenched him into the shadows surrounding her.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” she hissed. “Are you trying to get caught?”
The squad car followed them around the corner, sirens blaring and lights flashing. The cabbie didn’t know why he was being pulled over, but he suspected it had something to do with his passenger. She looked nervous in the back seat of his yellow sedan.

The squad cars come screaming to a halt in front of the school. Somehtin bad has happened.
